Learn to love bathing suit season

Not everyone loves wearing a swimsuit -- even if you feel completely confident strutting your stuff in a sexy dress, you might be a little more self-conscious in a skimpy bikini.

The thing is, when many of us think of one piece bathing suits, we think of what our grandmothers wore to the beach, complete with big flowers and flouncy skirts, but that doesn't have to be the case. There are plenty of one pieces designed to flatter your figure, provide coverage, and make you look super sleek and sexy.

Flatter Your Figure: Swimsuits for wide shoulders

Posted May 8th 2008 11:09AM by Kristen Seymour
Filed under: Swimwear, Flatter Your Figure


Some girls are born with a delicate, slight build. Others go through life with shoulders like a linebacker. And, while broad shoulders can make shopping for tops, dresses, jackets, and bathing suits a little more frustrating, we want to take a moment to point out that strong shoulders are sexy. So, the first thing you need to do with those broad shoulders is hold them up and back. Good posture, regardless of figure flaws, is always flattering.

Now that you know that, we can discuss specific bathing suit styles. Take a look through the gallery for suggestions of what to look for and, just as importantly, what to avoid. Happy shopping!

Trend Alert: Cut-out Swimsuits

Sure it's the end of January and it's freezing cold outside but it's never too early to think about swimsuit season. Now is the perfect time to hit the gym and tailor your diet for your big bikini body reveal! But the reality is those cookies are just way too good to put down. The diet can be put off for another month, right? Sure it can, I won't tell...

Ease your way into bikini season with 2008's hottest piece of swimwear, a cut-out swimsuit which is a little more racy than a one-piece and not as revealing as a two-piece. The cut-out swimsuit is perfect for those who want to conceal a less-than-perfect middle or for those who want something a little different than the average swimsuit. Just beware you are pretty much guaranteed to get a really strange look tan line.
